Audition Information

WHEN: 6-9 PM, Monday, August 23, and Tuesday, August 24, 2021

WHERE: Black Box Theater (Robinson Hall)

ABOUT THE SHOW: Humans are social creatures, and now more than ever we all crave that which a deadly virus has made so dangerous: to gather. Gatherings take many shapes: a family affair, a holiday, a first date, a protest, a celebration, a wedding, a performance, a support group, a classroom, a plane ride, a reunion, a funeral, a party, a vacation. 

This 70-minute evening of new works is part of the department’s mainstage season and features three short UNCC student-written and directed plays in addition to YouTopia (written by playwright Chaney Kwak and directed by Assistant Professor Laura London Waringer). Professor Waringer also serves as the artistic director and mentor for student creatives (actors, directors and playwrights). 

Auditions are for roles in all four of the featured short plays. Students who are cast may choose to sign up for credit (THEA 2402: Production Practicum: Gather).

​PERFORMANCE DATES:

Gather (THEA 2402: Performance Practicum) will be performed live in the Black Box Theater in Robinson Hall, Thursday, November 4, through Sunday, November 7, 2021.
